What are probiotics?
Probiotics are live microorganisms that have beneficial effects on health and that, according to the WHO, when taken in the right doses, help with the digestion and absorption of nutrients and strengthen the immune system.
THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Our digestive system is populated by a series of bacteria that make up a complex group known as gut microbiota. The balance between these bacteria and our intestine is often delicate and can be affected by our eating habits, stress, diseases or medication.
Taking probiotics can be useful to keep this balance stable, since they help propagate intestinal bacteria that are good for you.
WHY ARE probiotics FOR ATHLETES NECESSARY?
Our intestinal tract is multifunctional and is our biggest barrier against external agents. It helps with the assimilation of nutrients and is the organ with more immune (80% of the immune system can be found in the intestine) and endocrine functions (60% of hormone synthesis is carried out there).
If you exercise, using probiotics increases your performance, shortens the recovery time, reduces gastrointestinal discomfort or inflammatory disorders, and combats respiratory infections. In brief: including probiotics in your athletic routine will help you train more, better and achieve top results.
HOW CAN probiotics HELP ME?
THEY REDUCE RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS
They help reduce respiratory tract infections, minimizing their duration and severity.
THEY STRENGTHEN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
They act as a physical barrier against harmful bacteria. They boost the generation of anti-inflammatory proteins and increase the number and activity of cells that combat infections. They also increase immunoglobulin secretion.
THEY HELP YOU RECOVER AFTER A WORKOUT
They improve the conversion of nitrates into nitrous oxide (which acts as a vasodilator).
THEY REDUCE THE RISK OF SUFFERING FROM GASTROINTESTINAL DISCOMFORT
They prevent athletes from suffering from gastrointestinal problems (such as diarrhea, intolerance issues or lack of nutrient absorption). They balance gut microbiota and help the intestine run smoothly.
THEY PRODUCE VITAMINS AND IMPROVE DIGESTION
They synthesize some B-group vitamins and vitamin K, as well as increase the absorption of calcium, iron and vitamin D. They also improve the availability of bioactive compounds ingested.
THEY FIGHT FREE RADICALS
Probiotics can produce antioxidants that protect cells against the free radicals released after an intense workout.
THEY KEEP OPTIMAL GLUCOSE LEVELS
During the digestive process, gut microbiota produces short-chain fatty acids that serve as an energy source for high-intensity exercises.
